For John Balfoort, "looking back" over the first 25 years of his life revealed a boyhood in the Dutch East Indies,education in the Netherlands,treaining as a ship's engineer,and finally,service in the Allied Merchant Marine during WW II.Thru John's eyes,we witness the fall of colonialism after WW ,the losses suffered by ordinary people during that war and the disruption of lives which followed.Thanks Dad.
